Dynasty: Walker Jenkins. The FanRanked staff dynasty board has Jenkins ahead, Jenkins #76 and Sloan #162, and the expert consensus agrees (#113 and #73). The community agrees too, FRV 66.0 to 55.7.
JD on Ryan Sloan (Jul 3, 2026): For Sloan, his ranking has less to do with his skill set and more to do with how I value pitching prospects in dynasty leagues. My motto is “there is no such thing as a pitching prospect”, which is an exaggerated way to say that I would rather invest my prospect capital in a hitter because pitchers are so susceptible to injuries and their value evaporating before they have a chance to hit the big league level. Sloan is the #4 non-debuted SP (behind Hernandez, Anderson, and White) on my list, I would look at them that way rather than his ranking compared to all of the hitters and debuted pitchers overall. I’m very bullish on him long-term, but from a dynasty prospect perspective, pictures are hard to rank incredibly high.
JD on Walker Jenkins (Nov 2, 2026): For anyone that has watched Silicon Valley on HBO, do you remember the legendary clip where Russ Hanneman describes why you never want to start bringing in revenue as a startup? Clip here (https://youtu.be/BzAdXyPYKQo?si=Y2wLb6ifSkxbjvJ6) Here is the dynasty fantasy baseball version of this clip: "If you get called up to the big leagues people will ask how is he performing and it will never be enough...but if you're a highly touted prospect and you can say you're Pre-MLB you're a potential Pure Play. It's not about how well you perform in the big leagues it's about what you're worth as a prospect and who's worth the most? Prospects that haven't been called up yet. I kid you not, this is the exact thing I think every time a prospect comes up and doesn't immediately dominate at the big league level. All of the shine and excitement that a player had on him before he came to the big leagues seems to immediately go away as soon as they put up a slash line that doesn't look out of this world. Are people still enthusiastic? Sure there's still some hope, but managers will offer you a fraction of what they would before he got called up. All this to say, Walker Jenkins is still an elite prospect, if he didn't come up at the end of 2026 a lot of people would feel a lot differently about his prospects heading into 2027. I still see Astros-era Kyle Tucker with more of a motor in his profile, and am excited to see what he does in his first full big league season.
